Here are some of my works on Cognitive Psychology & Human-Computer Interaction. 🧪
Cognitive science delves into the systematic exploration of the intricacies of the human mind. This dynamic field draws on a diverse array of disciplines, including psychology, computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and neuroscience. On a parallel track, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) focuses on the symbiotic relationship between individuals and computer technology, particularly honing in on the interfaces that bridge the gap between human cognition and computational systems.
As a dedicated Cognitive Science major complemented by a minor in HCI, I find immense fascination in scrutinizing and understanding how humans engage with their environment, particularly in the realm of computer-mediated interactions. My passion lies in crafting innovative technologies that facilitate this interaction, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in human-computer engagement.
🔬 Presently, I am deeply immersed in conducting a comprehensive literature review in the domain of cognitive psychology, further enriching my understanding of the foundational principles that underpin human thought and behavior.
A Comparative Analysis of Bionic and Traditional Reading
Many people struggle with maintaining focus during reading, and while there are specialized fonts designed to address the issue, a new method has surfaced that uses a unique approach. This new method called bionic reading was developed by a Swiss typographic designer named Renato Casutt. Bionic reading strategically bolds the most concise parts of words that serve as artificial fixation points, guiding the readers' eyes and enhancing reading efficiency. Since the brain can process information faster than the eyes, reducing the number of letters the eyes need to focus on enables quicker reading while in theory retaining the full contextual understanding
Ethical Challenges in Machine Learning for Loan Allocation: Navigating Bias, Opacity, and Transparency in Financial Technology
Amid the dynamic evolution of financial technology, AI-driven decision-making algorithms have become formidable tools across diverse domains, notably in loan allocation. Nevertheless, this article aims to elucidate the ethical complexities associated with relying solely on AI-driven algorithms for loan allocation decisions. The ethical challenges outlined herein encompass concerns related to biases, epistemic harm, algorithmic opacity, insufficient assessment methodologies, and constraints on transparency imposed by financial institutions.
Beyond Genetics: Significance of Nurture in Personal Development
The ongoing debate between nature and nurture in psychology and social sciences seeks to determine the extent to which genetic and environmental factors influence human behavior and development. By highlighting the crucial role of nurture in personal development, this paper explores the implications for addressing issues such as autism, mental health, criminal behavior, and addiction. Furthermore, the paper delves into arguments and research related to neuroplasticity, the influence of early childhood experiences on romantic relationships, and the significance of language in shaping cognitive development.
Changing Inside Out: From A Cognitive & Neuroscience Perspective (A Research Paper)
Currently working on a psychology research paper that addresses how change is possible for every human being, despite norms and rigidity of societal fabric. This topic is heavy and dives deep into mental models, mental constructs, long-term potentiation, habitual responses, and the Big Five theory. This is a personal project.
Effects of Practicing Empathy & Critical Thinking on Cognitive Dissonance (A Literature Review)
Within the realm of social psychology, this paper serves as an insightful exploration. It intricately dissects the profound impact of cultivating two pivotal qualities: empathy and critical thinking. These attributes, when embraced in the current socio-cultural climate, hold the potential to revolutionize our approach towards the diversity of experiences and perspectives that populate our world.
The Colour Laboratory in your Pocket
In the realm of UI/UX Design, color stands as a cornerstone, wielding significant influence over how users perceive and interact with digital interfaces. Designers rely on color to impart meaning, guide navigation, and enhance overall functionality. However, for individuals grappling with color vision deficiencies, this visual language becomes a formidable challenge to decipher and navigate.
A Visual Language For Humans
In contemporary dialogues surrounding UI/UX design, there has been a discernible shift in perspective towards flat design, a departure from the earlier prevalence of skeuomorphic elements (Norman & Tognazzini, 2015). This transition has prompted a more nuanced examination of the balance between aesthetics and functionality in digital interfaces.
Videogames As Distributed Cognition Systems
Videogame play has seen great evolution over time, from the early 8-bit console and PC games to high-resolution graphics, mobile gaming, and VR. Over this period the videogame industry has shown.
